Potassium Sorbate Function
Potassium Sorbate can effectively restrain the mold, yeast and oxygen activity of bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and other harmful microorganism growth and reproduction, but for anaerobic bacillus bacteria and lactobacillus acidophilus beneficial microbes such as null and void, almost against the effect of development was stronger than the sterilization effect, so as to effectively prolong food to save time, and keep the original flavor of food
